Secondly, I wont have an idea on how much time it may take Thirdly, it depends on which MOD you are using...and if you are looking for detailed help then you can refer to the support site of that particular mod |

QUOTE you can refer to the support site of that particular mod and then, if there is no site for that particular mod, then come on over to http://forumize.org its a site that will help you with your forums no matter the problem, OpaQue has approved it to be trap17's offical Fourm BB Support  but generally there is a readme with step by step instructions on how and where to put them... |

I have uploaded IPB to my sites in the past and it takes roughly 10 minutes. When you make the new directory make sure to name it because that is how people get to your forums. So if you call it monkey it will be located at www.yourdomain.com/monkey Most every mod comes with an installation manual of some sort. Look for a ReadMe or Install Guide with the files that you download for the mod.

yup, panzer. www and public_html are one and the same. you should make your forums directory inside of either. the www just acts as an alias of sorts for public_html.

Well...
I have uploaded the entire IPB 1.3 into the public folder. I tried to follow the 'how to make a phpbbfm' guide but i am stumped on QUOTE 11. Now your going to assign the user you just made, to the database you made before. Find where it says "Add user to database" and there should be 2 drop down menus. One of them, being the user, and the second, the database. Don't worry about all those checkboxes, it should already be set on "All" for you. In the first drop-down, find "YouUserName_forum" and then in the second one, do the same thing. And click "Add user to database". There is no such thing. I tried following the rest of the instructions but the same thing happened, NOTHING! I am disheartened and confused can somebody please help me? (or write a guide on how to do it) |
